If I am doing a clean reinstall starting with Windows 7 pro SP1, would I need to update it fully before I do a Windows 10 upgrade? Just like when you would do a service pack install, you did it immediately after installation. Sometimes it feels like windows 10 is just another service pack...

There is a way because I have a set of icons that I've had for years that work in any computer and system you put them in. So it obviously possible.

Hello. I know basically how to create custom folder icons by right clicking on a folder to "properties" and "customize" "change icon" by using ico formated icons in Windows 7 64bit; but how do you keep the custom folder icons from disappearing when you move them to another computer? I did find a...

It is my understanding that Premiere Pro CS5 is 64bit only. I know you can't install it in Windows XP. As far as transferring, I personally like to reinstall it and start with a clean fresh copy. On the SSD, it only took about 10 minutes to install it. Of course, all the other stuff takes time...

I ended up buying the Corsair 240 gb Force GT Sata 3. It is impressive how fast it is but it is not up to its full potential. It hovers around 300 sequential reads/writes MB/s. I was reading that you should set up for ACHI but people seemed to be having problems if they convert it to ACHI...

I just installed a 240 gb SSD corsair ForceGT Sata 3, primarily to boost Premiere Pro 5.5 performance. I have decided not to use an additional hard drive for a scratch disk, since it would not be as fast as the SSD drive. I have an additional 1TB 7200 hard drive. Now I was wondering, in terms...

In photoshop and Premiere it is recommend to assign a scratch disc to an external drive for temporary files. I still struggle with this concept. Since I will install another Win7 pro 64 on the SSD drive; I will not use a scratch disc when booting from the SSD drive.. I would see no reason to...

I was wondering if there are any issue with dual booting Windows 7 pro 64 bit on an internal SSD drive. I currently have Windows 7 pro 64 bit on a 500gb 7200 hard drive plus a backup 1 TB 7200 rpm drive; but I wanted the speed I would get by installing win7 pro 64bit on a 250gb SSD drive. I...

I see. You don't actually right click but you just go into whatever drive or folder you want to search in by typing in the top right box. I did notice that some advanced options are left out like looking for a particular type of file, unless I not looking right. Sometimes you may forget what the...

Hello: Windows 7 for some strange reason doesn't have the ability to right click on a volume, folder, etc-amazing. I have been able to regain the search function for folders to right click but it doesn't work on right clicking a volume (hard drive) for some reason. I have always used this...

I also have problems with this WD 500gig external HD using the eSata port in Windows7 x64 Ulitimate. I have a pci-e silicon esata card in a Dell GX620 Pentium D 3.6. I have another enclosure using a XTRASTOR brand which seems to work OK in Windows7. It has to be the WD external HD. It has to...
